Chapter 7: New Power Unit
Today was an eventful day as I finally got the XR8 Pro G3 + 4268SD power unit installed, which turned out to be 150g lighter than the Max8 G2 + 4278SD motor that it replaced.. Also changed out the rear wing to a TLR wing (forget the model) but it’s 25g lighter as well so that was a nice surprise.
ESC size difference between the XR8 Pro G3 and the Max8 G2
Neat and tidy
Dialing in the setup with a new alignment, particularly the front to add additional camber by removing one of the 1.5mm washers on the top pillow ball. This gave me the front camber I wanted from 0-ish camber to -2.5. I also straightened out the front toe to zero.
I’m planning on hitting up the track this weekend and I’m sure there will be some additional fine-tuning once it’s pounding the dirt.
